WEIGHT LOSS

Whether you want to reverse your obesity or just struggle with mild weight gain year after year that won't come off no matter how hard you try, come talk to us. At Ravenna Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we spend a lot of time investigating each patient's unique situation and recommend an action plan that is achievable and long-lasting for each patient.

As specialists and experts in nutrition, fad diets drive us functional medicine practitioners bonkers. They can be dangerous when there is a real lack of information. When one person watches their friend have initial success, they ask what they are doing and take to the internet to search for details. Unfortunately, the details usually end up being very high level and they start following a CliffsNotes version.

Take for example the Keto diet. It was the number one health topic searched on Google in 2018. While I am not an advocate for long-term use of a Keto diet, I have a word of caution for those being true to Keto - you might not be getting enough of certain vitamins and minerals. A very low carb diet for an extended time may cause the beneficial bacteria in your gut to starve and die from lack of resistant starch and fiber. Good gut health is highly important and strongly correlated with improved health, digestion, weight-loss, and better moods. If you are currently on Keto now and reading this, please don't be afraid of eating vegetables, berries, or other fruit just because of the carbs they contain. Keep in mind that net carbs are total carbohydrates in the food minus the fiber. So the fiber amount doesn't count toward your daily carb intake. And be sure you get plenty of probiotics and prebiotic fiber to ensure your gut health improves.

One of the most common results that nearly all of our patients (no matter the reason they come to us) have is weight loss. How is this? Because weight gain is a symptom of many conditions so as we reverse those issues, the body heals and can begin to change. We get to the root cause of your issue(s) and basically take out the bad and replace it with the good.
